U.S. termination of TPS for Venezuela and other nations

Overview

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for citizens of Venezuela and 12 other nations, citing that the emergencies justifying the designations have subsided. To encourage voluntary departures, the DHS introduced a program offering free travel, fine waivers, and a $2,600 departure bonus.

In response to these policy shifts, Venezuelan exile organizations such as VEPPEX and AMAVEX submitted a report to the U.S. Congress and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The report details the impact on approximately 607,000 individuals, noting that the termination of TPS, alongside reduced humanitarian parole and the end of automatic work permit extensions, has caused interrupted employment and loss of health insurance. The organizations also raised concerns regarding the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 in relation to the gang Tren de Aragua, arguing against using nationality or physical appearance as substitutes for criminal evidence.
